matplotlib.patches.RegularPolygon

class matplotlib.patches.RegularPolygon(xy, numVertices, radius=5, orientation=0, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches.Patch

A regular polygon patch.

Parameters
xy(float, float)

The center position.

numVerticesint

The number of vertices.

radiusfloat

The distance from the center to each of the vertices.

orientationfloat

The polygon rotation angle (in radians).

**kwargs

get_patch_transform()[source]

Return the Transform instance mapping patch coordinates to data coordinates.

For example, one may define a patch of a circle which represents a radius of 5 by providing coordinates for a unit circle, and a transform which scales the coordinates (the patch coordinate) by 5.

get_path()[source]

Return the path of this patch.
